Milton knocks out power to millions and spawns 150 tornadoes across Florida. At least 4 dead
  • Would you prefer the reporter refer to you as a family, company, or building...

    The point being made here is that customer is the best noun that the English language has for a reporter to talk about a companies customers. This was never about an electric company referring to people. This is all some made up BS that is completely off topic to the article.

    What should the AP have called all the customers of the utility companies other than customers?

  • Milton knocks out power to millions and spawns 150 tornadoes across Florida. At least 4 dead
  • As someone currently experiencing power loss in Tampa, i can state that I am not a company. Neither is my mom, who is also a customer of Tampa Electric, a family. Your entire comment thread on here is grabbing at an accurate statement and trying to turn it into something it's not.

    I think that, as someone that is directly affected, your comments are more insulting than the article.

  • Time to evacuate is running out as Hurricane Milton closes in on Florida
  • You're correct about the problem being flooding. The zones in Hillsborough county that were under evacuation orders were the low lying zones. I'm in one of those houses you speak of right now and Milton is currently about 50 miles away. I feel safe here. I know there may be some damage outside that I'll have to fix, but I would have to do that regardless.

    It probably also helps that my house isn't in an evacuation zone, though there are houses in my neighborhood that are.

    Americans back Donald Trump on tips
  • I would agree with this except that I don't have faith that it won't be leveraged as a way to get out of a whole crapload of taxes. I'm pretty sure that unemployment insurance, and a lot of the federal taxes, are based on wages and not tips. Also what is the limit? Can I pay my friend $50 to mow my lawn and tip him an extra $25,000, just so I can get around the limit for a gift tax? I wouldn't trust a Republican administration to implement this without making it easier for Rick people to avoid paying taxes.

  • exponential growth of wolverines
  • It still bothers me 30 years later that in the DC vs Marvel, Wolverine beat Lobo... Shouldn't have happened to someone that beat up Superman because a guy at a bar said he couldn't...

  • Make a raid 5 with two almost full disk and another one empty
  • This is how I do it. No striping, normal partitions, different hard drive sizes, pretty easy. This way makes upgrades super easy too. Currently running 76TB mergerfs with 2 14TB Snapraid parity drives.

  • Everything Apple iOS 18 Will Do, Android Already Does
  • I know that Pixel 7's and above support it. There are Reddit posts showing they have the feature already. Satellite messaging is just using standard 4G/LTE from Starlink. I wouldn't be surprised if this is only an OS update away for most newer phones.

  • How easy is it to switch back to windows?
  • This is the best answer I've seen in this whole thread. You're right that the key is not needed. Microsoft identified your system components and did the original activation based on the hardware you've got on your computer. All you need to do to bring back a licensed copy of Windows is to reinstall it.
